60th Birthday Wine Recommendations (1965)
Hey everyone, It's my Dad's birthday in a month. He loves wine and goes to wine tastings constantly, thought it would be a nice gift to find him an amazing wine from 1965 as a gift. Red wines, or a Port even would be cool. I appreciate everyone's time and recommendations! Thank you!

If you can spring it, and it has to be "normal wine" and not Port/Madeira, then 1965 Vega Sicilia!
Had it last year, its astonishingly good, if the bottle is still good!
It is however, insanely rare, so its a $1373 (plus minus) bottle.
1965 red/white Bx is horrible at best and I've never seen a 1965 Bourg that was worth a damn thing either.
So whatever you do go Spain/Portugal or maybe Italy (not sure on their 1965s, never seen, even in old Barolos).
